Opened and sat for 1 hour. This wine is ready to drink. I'm on bottle 4 of two cases and I don't taste any reason to postpone drinking this nice Bordeaux. Some sediment in all bottles. It's rich, plummy, dark, silky, great finish. I bought it at $25 and it's a bargain; now selling at ~$60.

Big and fruity on opening; tannin on front end but it shows a lot of potential if you like a new world style; beautiful garnet color nice balance

Popped and poured. Nice soft cherry notes still some tannin. Nice texture and medium finish. I think it's peaked and should last several more years.
